Banana Boat Burn
By: Addison Norman
Banana Boat sunscreen products are
being recalled because of a possible danger in using the products. The
sunscreen may break out into flames on the users’ skin if the person comes in
contact with a spark or flame before the sunscreen is completely dry. Energizer
Holdings (ENR) has received four notices in the U.S. where the spray has caused
burns, and one report in Canada. Energizer believes that this happens because
some Banana Boat sunscreen spray, dispenses more than what is standard. This
causes the spray to take longer to dry.
I
believe it’s important to read the warnings and hazards on a product before
using them. Many products that we put on our bodies like sunscreen, hairspray,
and perfume contain alcohol. Alcohol is very flammable so if one of these
products came in contact with a flame or spark it could cause a fire. We all
need to be aware of what we products use, and their possible dangers.
Wow! I am glad that I havn't used that recently haha
ReplyDeleteIt is actually a comic image, of someone applying sunscreen and then catching on fire. :) Why would you go near a flame with one of those products on anyway? I'm not stupid, I wouldn't do that. Bananna Boat shouldn't be blamed for the obtusity of society!
ReplyDeleteThat would just suck, you put on sunscreen not to get burned...and you end up catching on fire.
